BEAU HICKMAN'S MISTAKE.
TTew lis Worked Two Hotels for Good
Dinner.
Some time ago, reading an interest
ing article in your paper, says a cor
respondent of the N. Y. World, about
Mr. Hickman, the liuau Hrummel of
Washington yearn ago, retuiouua ino
of a storr which I know to be true of
him. and which, I think, never was
published.
When he had not a cent in his
pocket he always contrived to have tho
appearanceof a man faultlessly attired,
even though his clothes were shiny
and almost threadbare.
One evening, with no money in his
pocket and not knowing where his
dinner was to come from, he sauntered
forth with a bat well brushed, perfect
fitting gloves and bis usual bouton
naire.
Walking down a well known street
in Washington he entered one of the
principal hotels, noted for its ex
cellent cuisine. Slowly walking to
wards the dining-room a waiter rushed
to meet him. with the v ord; "Will
you dine, sir?" Slightly bowing hi3
head he followed the waiter, who
conducted him to a table, relieving
him of his hat, cane and gloves.
He dined sumptuously, not even
omitting his favorite wiue and good
cigar.
Having finished the waiter presented
his check. Taking no notice, he called
for his hat and gloves and proceeded to
walk out of the place. The waiter
stopped him and said:
You have not settled your bill, sir."
"I have no money," said Mr. Hick
man, "but I thank you for a very fine
dinner."
The proprietor was called, was very
angry and insisted upon the bill being
settled.
Look here, my friend," said Mr.
Hickman, "I came in here and this
young man asked me to dine, asked
me what I would have, and said I could
have anything I wished. I enjoyed it
yery much, am very much obliged. It
was a capital dinner."
The landlord, seeing the nature of
the joke and that he had been fooled,
determined to turn it to good account.
"See here," he said to Mr. Hickman,
I will tell you how we will arrange
this aud say no more about it." Tak
ing him to a window lie pointed across
the street, saying: Do you see that
hotel over there? Well, that man is
running in opposition to me. You go
and serve hiiu the same joke you have
me and I will give you $50."
'Pon my word." says our friend
Hickman. "I cannot eat another such
dinner to-night, but 1 will to-morrow."
St) the bargaiu was closed.
The next evening Mr. Hickman
entered the hotel agreed upon and
the same performance was gone
through. The waiter and cashier,
finding they could get no money, as
he insisted upon it that they iiad asked
him to dine, finally called the pro
prietor, who was very angry and in
sisted upon being paid.
At last, finding he could get no
money, he said: "Look here. I will
not arrest you, and if you will go
across the street aim piny the same
joke on that hotel opposite I will give
you $100."
"On. what a mistake I have made!"
said our friend Hickman. Why did I
not come here first? He only gave me
$50 for playing it on you."

Height of Cruelty
Nervous women seldom recive
the sympathy they deserve.
While often the pictures ot health,
they are constantly ailing. To
with hold sympathy from these un
fortuntes is the height of cruelty.
They have a week hearth, causing
shortneess of breath, fluttering,
pain in side, week and hungry
swells, and finally swelling of
ankles, sppression, choking, smoth
ering and dropsy. Dr. Miles' New
Heart Cure is just the thing for
them. For their nervousness, head
ache, weekness, etc., his Restorative
Nervine is unequaled. J-"ine treatise
